How To: Hit a golf ball out of thick grass

This is an instructional video on how to hit a golf ball out of thick rough. The major issue that most people have with hitting the ball out of the rough is that they end up smothering the ball when they swing. This is caused by the grass catching on the shaft and closing the club face. They way to fix this is, at address you need to open the club face a slight amount. When you swing the club will catch and your club face will be positioned perfectly and the ball will shoot out of the rough like it wasn't even there. The key to the actual swing like all golf swings is to be confident and go down and get the ball. With a confident swing you will strike the ball back to where all golfers want to be fairways, and greens!
